Write Like This

Write Like This is built around a central premise: if students are to grow as writers, they need to read good writing, they need to study good writing, and, most important they need to emulate good writers. Kelly Gallagher emphasises real-world writing purposes, the kind of writing he wants his students to be doing twenty years from now. Each chapter focuses on a specific discourse: express and reflect, inform and explain, evaluate and judge, inquire and explore, analyse and interpret, and take a stand/propose a solution.
